making saw blades

interesting indeed
but its true about the markup on that stuff. its why we buy our recip and circ saw blades in bulk.. mostly milwuakee recip blades and irwin circ saw blades

we buy the 12" wrecker blades by milwuakee by the pack of 100.. to buy one individually they cost around $12-14 but $400 for a pack of 100 which works out to $4 a blade.. circ saw blades now for one irwin marathon were looking at $15 a blade but we buy em by the box of 50 which works out to $3.50 a blade
